Overview

One dual inline memory module (DIMM) slot and two CompactFlash slots are available for upgrading the printer with the following items:

●More printer memory—DIMMs are available in 32, 48, 64, 128, 256, and 512 MB.

●CompactFlash font cards—Unlike standard printer memory, CompactFlash cards can be used to permanently store downloaded items, such as fonts and forms, even when the printer is off. These cards can also be used to enable the printer to print non-Roman characters.

●Other DIMM- and CompactFlash-based printer languages and printer options.

For ordering information, see Ordering parts, accessories, and supplies.

NOTE Single inline memory modules (SIMMs) used in previous HP LaserJet printers are not compatible with the printer.

The printer also has one EIO slot for expanding the printer networking capabilities. The EIO slot can be used to upgrade the printer with an additional network connection, such as a wireless print server, network card, or a connectivity card for a serial or AppleTalk connection.

NOTE Some HP LaserJet 5200 series printers come with a network device already installed. The EIO slot may be used to provide networking capabilities in addition to those already built into the printer.

To find out how much memory is installed in the printer, or to find out what is installed in the EIO slots, print a configuration page. See Using printer information pages.
